The Futures Past

With my eyes looking forward I see something that I never thought would be there. With words I don’t even know how to begin to describe what I see...Its something that everyone longs for, but as time goes on, the percentage of people that actually get it declines. An "alter ego" is desired by everyone, but only a selected few actually ever find it. I hate always using lines and examples from movies, but... I watched City of Angels last night, no matter how you feel about the film, if you are a romantic you have to admit that the whole plot was to die for. (no pun intended) A man so in love with a woman gave up everything he had, even though he only truly had a few hours with her, because she sadly died. But he didn’t regret one second of it. Some of his last words were, I would rather of had one breath of her hair, one taste of her kiss, one touch of her hand...then an eternity without it, ONE. When I look in front of me, I see what appears to be an angel, beautiful and bright. Its so desirable that I never want to close my eyes in fear that it might all be a dream, and if I close them, it will disappear. (insert here - Aerosmith's -I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing)

The first round on this playground that we call life, rarely works out how we always dreamed it would as a child. But serendipity usually takes place and happiness almost always finds its way into our lives. The sad thing is a lot of us were cursed to go more then one round with the end result of many scars and bruises. But for most of us, that is a blessing because when we finally do find that happiness we cherish it more because we earned it.

Serendipity has been the theme of my life. I have loved and I have lost. I have cherished and I have despised. But with my eyes forward, I know that I have never loved or cherished anything more then what I do now. Have patience, diligence, endurance…and happiness will come to all. It will come to those who don’t pursue after it. You have to want it, but you have to have the patience for it to come to you.
